That's your opinion. He only allowed strikes on targets related to chemical weapons and didn't attack any russians. I never voted for him so the US would become a hermit nation. I voted for him on several issues. Most nations consider the usage of chemical weapons to be a red line. The US has to remain a global player.

You would have to be naive to not see through such an obvious false flag. Why would Assad gas his own people right after winning?

I don't know. He has a history of attacking civilians in this way and not caring about collateral damage so it's not out of character for him. Was it smart? No, but people tend to do stupid shit when they shouldn't. People sometimes think that leaders of anything will always be rational, wise and make the smart choices. They're fallible people like the rest of us. 

It's also possible someone within his side did it without his knowledge or that another group of people could have done it to set up Assad/to keep the US there. Personally, I tend to believe it was stupidity over something like a conspiracy.
